Roasted Asparagus

Ingredients

1 or 2 bunches of Asparagus, cleaned, trim bottom ½-1 inch off stalk and cut to desired length or leave whole

Olive Oil Cooking Spray

Sea Salt, to taste

Black Pepper, to taste

1-2 TBLspoons Balsamic Vinegar

1-2 TBLspoons SoySauce (I use gluten-free variety)

1-2 teaspoons high quality Oil—Grape Seed, Flax, Olive, Roasted Sesame, etc

Directions

Coat Baking sheet with light coat of Cooking Oil Spray. Place Asparagus on baking sheet, add Salt and Pepper, toss to mix thoroughly. Place in 400 degree F oven for 12 minutes or until tender. Place roasted asparagus in Serving Dish. Warm the Balsamic Vinegar, Soy Sauce and Oil in sauce pan over medium heat. Remove from heat and pour over Asparagus. Serve hot.

Abstinent Measuring

1 cup = 1 vegetable

Notes

If making 1 bunch of Asparagus, use 1 TBLspoon each of the Vinegar and Soy Sauce and 1 teaspoon Oil. If making 2 bunches, use 2 of everything.

Take it to a Party: take it out of the oven at 8-10 minutes, so that it is a little under cooked. Put in Serving Dish, warm sauce, pour over Asparagus. Cover well with heavy towel and transport. It will continue cooking a little and be excellent for your party.
